Things in brackets can be removed if they don't apply. If they do apply, then I'm just removing the brackets. Pictures will be used if I can find suitable ones that don't require me to say 'This is him/her. Except for [enter thing here]'.

Name: Nightmare, The Nightmare, 'That guy in the hat', Psychic Project #6402
Race: Experimental psychic/hallucination/dream-stealer.
Apparent Physical Description:

Spoiler:

A fairly tall man, just a little taller than you, who always wears a black dinner jacket, white shirt and dress trousers. His pale face is lined and stern-looking, and his eyes are yellow and appear to look right through people. He wears a hat, under which is hidden a duck. His shoulder length, dark hair frames his face well and never, ever seems to get tangled, or covered in duck droppings.
Actual Physical Description: A bony-tailed, foetus looking thing with mottled grey skin and a large bulbous head. He floats, apparently dead, in a jar filled with nutrient solution somewhere in the ruins beneath Haseo's home. He twitches now and again.
Powers: (Distance) Causing and controlling mass hallucinations or dreams, reading surface thoughts (speech only) and implanting surface suggestions (ie, his illusory self has just spoken).
(Local) Telekinesis (able to pick up or manipulate light objects, such as himself), telepathy, intense hallucination.
Skills: Reading people.
Affiliates: None. Except, possibly, Haseo.

Ongoing Historical Summary: He woke up one day when the laboratory he was in was crushed by an extraplanar force. The remaining scientists had their minds burned out when he assimilated their knowledge and learned that the very next day he was to be dissected and studied. He lies now, in the jar that birthed him and immersed in the fluid that gives him life, amongst the burned-out remains of the lab that housed him, and surrounded by the rotting remains of dozens of others of his kind. He plots and schemes to pass the time, and is very likely insane. The arrival of Haseo and his retinue was a surprise to him, and he spent almost six months simply studying them via their surface thoughts.

He's almost ready to reveal himself to them for the first time.

Edited to place the photo in a spoiler. When posting future pictures please put them in a spiler tag because other wise it slows down the server.

Name: Jules
Race: Denizen of the Dreaming
Apparent Physical Description: Usually muscular and liony. His body, in whichever form the perceptions of his closest observer causes him to take, is always so dark it's almost black. His mane of hair is a tawny gold and sticks out in all directions, like the petals of a dandelion. When he is humanoid he has a hairless face and gold irised eyes. Mostly, he wears deep blue jeans and a grey t-shirt (unless he's in lion form).
Powers: Natural Shapeshifter (uncontrolled, only in the Dreaming). Nearly undetectable to electronic surveillance equipment (both video and audio). Can become intangible (uncontrolled). Leaves no corpse upon death, but instead becomes a pile of dry, ordinary looking sand.
Skills: Variable (depends upon the perceptions of those who see him)
Affiliates: None.

Ongoing Historical Summary: A longtime denizen of the Dreaming, he found one of the portals to the waking world one day. Being as curious as a kitten, he didn't even hesitate in stepping through. Currently, he is wandering the corridors of the Folly and remarking upon the tastelessness of the interior decorator.

Name: 'The Trickster'
Race: Energy Being (Elder God)
Apparent Physical Description: A fat man with his hair trimmed into a tonsure and with folds of fat around his face. He is dressed in a stained, dirty brown robe and old leather sandals. A brown rope belts the robe around his ample midriff. He is always eating.
Actual Physical Description: Unknown.
Powers: Unknown. Bottomless stomach and shapeshifting, maybe?
Skills: Storytelling, lying, distractions, tricks, pranks, walking into places as if he owns them, convincing people he does indeed own such places, stealing things, selling stolen things back to their original owners, blackmail, extortion, dressing up as a religious figure, quick change artistry, sneaking, hiding, pickpocketing, reverse-pickpocketing, drinking, sleight of hand, speedreading, keeping himself highly amused, reading people, producing bobcats from innocuous items of clothing, palming, palm reading, fortune telling, card tricks, coin tricks and, on one occasion, selling an entire bridge to a foreign tourist while on holiday.
Affiliates: Himself.

Ongoing Historical Summary: An old drinking friend of Night's, maybe. At least, that's his story.
